Bill Brow­der’s Book, ‘Red Notice’, Launched in Russ­ian Lan­guagein the West After Being Banned inside Russia

 

31 March 2015 – ‘Red Notice’, the Num­ber One New York Times best­seller by Putin crit­ic Bill Brow­der, has now been released in the Russ­ian lan­guage, after its suc­cess­ful launch in nine lan­guages and thir­teen countries.

 

Shunned by all major Russ­ian pub­lish­ing hous­es and online book dis­trib­u­tors because of its con­tro­ver­sial con­tent, Browder’s ‘Red Notice’ will now be pub­lished by Kiev-based pub­lish­er, Lau­rus, in the Russ­ian lan­guage and dis­trib­uted out­side of Rus­sia through Google Play, where the read­er can order a hard copy (https://play.google.com/store/books/details/RED_NOTICE_Russian_Edition?id=YQWgBwAAQBAJ&hl=en_GB), and Ama­zon, where an elec­tron­ic edi­tion is avail­able (http://www.amazon.com/Red-Notice-Russian-Bill-Browder-ebook/dp/B00UN2FZTG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1427452245&sr=8 – 3&keywords=red+notice, http://www.amazon.com/Red-Notice-Russian-Bill-Browder-ebook/dp/B00UN2FZTG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1427452245&sr=8 – 3&keywords=red+notice)

 

“The Russ­ian peo­ple are the nat­ur­al audi­ence for ‘Red Notice.’ But because of the fear among Russ­ian pub­lish­ers of gov­ern­ment retal­i­a­tion for asso­ci­ating them­selves with this work,we had to pub­lish the Russ­ian edi­tion out­side of Rus­sia. Cur­rent­ly, pub­lish­ers from twen­ty dif­fer­ent coun­tries span­ning from Brazil to Japan to Greece havedis­played an inter­est in pub­lish­ing this book, but none inside of Rus­sia,” said Bill Brow­der, author of ‘Red Notice’.

 

‘Red Notice,’ the per­son­al exposé by Bill Brow­der of the events lead­ing to the arrest and mur­der of Russ­ian anti-cor­rup­tion lawyer Sergei Mag­nit­sky, the sub­se­quent cov­er-up by the Putin regime and the West­ern response, has become an instant inter­na­tion­al best­seller since its release in Feb­ru­ary 2015 worldwide.

 

In the first week of sales, ‘Red Notice’ hit the New York Times best­seller list, and has stayed on it for the sev­en weeks run­ning (http://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/2015 – 02-22/hardcover-nonfiction/list.html).

‘Red Notice’ has grabbed read­ers with wide­ly diverse inter­ests com­pris­ing busi­ness, pol­i­tics, and spy thrillers. It is fea­tured this month as num­ber one best­seller in the New York Times’ Crime sec­tion (http://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/crime-and-punishment/list.html), num­ber two in Espi­onage, num­ber three in Busi­ness sec­tion, and num­ber six in Politics.

‘Red Notice’ has also been Num­ber One best­seller in ‘Inter­na­tion­al Busi­ness’ on Amazon.com; and it has appeared on the best­seller lists by NPR, USA Today, Wash­ing­ton Post, Pub­lish­ers Week­ly, and Indiebound, among others.

“This is one of the most cap­ti­vat­ing and inter­est­ing books I have read in a long time.”
